Fortune is a River - first US edition

by Roger Masters

Subtitled 'Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli's Magnificent Dream to Change the Course of Florentine History'.  A fascinating reconstruction of a unique friendship, this is the case history of the Arno River Project. The story is a charming entry into the complex material and intellectual world of the Italian Renaissance, in which two of its greatest personalities come alive as they join together in a bold and doomed project.
